Love the fact that you keep the "disasters" in your videos. Not everything goes exactly to plan in the wild and these are good reminders of that fact! Great job!
When you get home you can trim that stove pipe up with sheet metal snips … loved this cold wind winter camping trip.
cup of tea and a couple of biscuits! thats the spirit mate 😂
Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorites. Enjoy.
Take care and be safe!
I think we all have days like that, sometimes think maybe go back to bed again and it'll be different when I get back up LOL
Your foot went through the ice at the edge and you still had the guts to walk on the lake? Oh, my! Take care!
Down here in Texas, the trees are budding out and I'm planting tomatoes later today. I was hoping for a little more winter before mosquito/tick/water moccasin season began. Great job on the video.
It snowed here all day yesterday.
Toronto.
That sounds pretty nice!! We’re still a little ways a way from that still, probably not until middle of May at least. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some more snow
Ikr, our last freeze was a few days ago. It will be hot and hotter from now thru October. 😂
Texas 'chile today, hot tamale tomorrow'
We have snow in Colorado today. Supposed to have more Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. We've had snow days where we had to close school last two Thursdays.
i always search for two healthy trees about fourteen feet apart. put a line between those trees for my tarp. then place ground cloth (new shower curtain). place my tent door toward one tree any attach a "yank me out" cord. then up the tent.
As long as you're happy it don't matter what nobody else says
Thank you Sandra!!
Loved this one! You turned the disasters round, and managed to keep from screaming and packing up to go home. You certainly have patience (Yorkshire stubbornness) when it comes to the stove pipe. One thing though…. HP! It’s a shame that most American breadcakes are so sweet, bagels are a bit too chewy but that bacon…yummy REAL bacon ☺️
Haha yeah the bacon is awesome! So lucky I was able to find a place that sells real British cut bacon! Shame I can't find too many places that sell HP though
This stuff is absolutely fantastic. So real, so lifelike. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you! Will do!
You're a better man than I ! I hate the roll up stove pipes 😠
Yeah they are a pain! They actually get easier the more times you use them
Hello like your video with so much duration you got the fire start and cook you some food look delicious you are so brave that winds is blowing .Take care and still warm and safe.🤟🙏🙏😱😊😊❤️
Breakfast sammiches (that's Pittsburghzese for sandwich) are great at any time. Especially on a good bagel!
Bacon sandwiches, not just for Breakfast, you have one whenever you like Rob, we do, all the way from Leicester, England, keep up the vids mate, we love em 👍
Sorry to see your sleeping bag got burned. I guess we can all expect gear damage. I appreciate your resolve to show your adversity as well; certainly lots to be learned by watching you cope with the rough bits as well. Enjoyed your video very much!
Hey Robert !, cool to see you over came the problems often plagued with winter camping, It's always "Murphy's Law" lol.. Your camp site was great, what a view.. Looking foreword to your next winter adventure as long as the season holds out for ya, All the Best and Happy Trails !!
Thanks Scott! lots of different challenges on this one but you just have to roll with the punches some times, Mother Nature likes to constantly challenge us! I’m looking forward to getting out again as soon as possibke
Great video! I love my KUIU 7200 Icon Pro! And my Winnerwell stove! You have good taste in gear. You should try a tipi, you’ll never look back. A couple good budget options are the Luxe Octopeak and One Tigris Rock Fortress. I find myself using the One Tigris the most even though it’s twice the weight of the Octopeak. It’s so nice to be able to stand up and I’m 6’4”. So much floor space too, especially if you hang it from a tree or ridge line instead of using the pole, saves weight too.
Gaffer Tape the greatest tool ever !!
It's a pack necessity, I've used it to fix plenty of stuff
Great video Rob thanks for letting us come along
Way to hang tough with all the issues! Thanks for including them though…it’s real!
Also, congrats on the weight loss!! Keep at it!
Lookin good brother. You have that problem too I see. Whenever I pull out a tarp or something that needs to be strapped down the wind picks up lol. Gonna have to change your name to Brooks and Biceps if you keep up all that working out lol
It’s all good breakfast for dinner is great.
It sure is Bridgette! I love having breakfast for dinner some times
That's why my hot tent stove is stainless steel; I'd get way too frustrated with that flimsy stovepipe. But I also always use a sled, so I don't need to count ounces. Glad you got thru it so well. Fun as always.
Great job turning things around! There's a reason dogs and duct tape are tied for " Man's best friend " 🤣🤣🤣
Cám trại một mình trong rừng nhiều tuyết lạnh rất tuyệt vời chúc anh nhiều niềm vui nhé
As my Mum would say to me coming from a weekend in the woods all fingers cut.
"Your a wee bit of a Dafty" and sometimes I wonder if we're related lol. Get yourself a old school non electric crank hand drill and pre drilling the holes first before at 4" then hammer 🔨 the pegs in the ground. God I hope you don't have relatives in Glasgow Scotland lol
Haha I am a quarter Scottish actually! Still have family that live up in Isle of Whithorn over by Dumfries and Galloway! I guess I’m a wee bit of a dafty too lol
@@BrooksandBirches Yup & I only have 2 old female cousins up there "Fee is their maiden names"
I was looking at that tent thinking "thats kinda small, I would totally melt my sleeping bag". Next scene, melted sleeping bag.
For what its worth Ive melted holes in a few things in a much larger tent. One of my videos shows one thing Ive done to help; drive stakes in around the stove as a physical barrier. The other thing that is absolutely key for me is that the zipper side goes toward the stove no matter what. Otherwise, Ill flop the bag open and inevitably it would brush the stove. Fortunately they've been small holes so far.
Nice video Rob! How are you? A very windy day to camp, isn’t it? But your face says that you are enjoying as a champion! That is great my friend. Good solution with the chimney, sure I would have done the same as you. A very big hug my friend. I’ll see you in the next. Take care my friend
That cut you almost gave your yourself with that take down saw made my heart stop a bit … almost did that myself … for years now i switched over to Silky folding saws … hope your hand is ok.
Another outstanding AF video brother Robert !! Cheers !
Thanks Johsua!! Chers buddy!🤙
Great work, my friend. That was a well-earned meal, man. Enjoy that! Damn sleeping bag melt, way to roll w/the punches, mate. Great content, man - showing the real is the best in my opinion. Duct tape never hurt anyone, esp MacGyver! Cheers, bud!
Thanks buddy!! Yeah some times things go a little sideways and you just have to figure it out on the fly! A bit of duct tape seems to fix most things in the woods I’ve found, duct tape and a little help from some super glue works great!
Glad you still enjoyed your trip, even though there were time when some people would have called it quits.
Would you like to try a colorful fire next time?
I always like bacon and eggs at suppertime, that's when we had them when I was young, we'd have boiled potatoes then we'd put a fried egg on top that's how all of children liked it best I think he eggs were cheaper than the meat back then too, we had a vegetable with it but we always had different ones;
It isn't a proper adventure if nothing goes wrong lol
Awesome
Another enjoyable video. You have more patience than me lol
Any intro with something about a "disaster" is sure to be interesting. Duct tape for the win. I'm enjoying your late winter series. It was -7 F a couple of weeks ago in Wyoming, now the highs are around 60 and the lows are above freezing. I may have to explore the Bighorn Mountains soon.
Thats awesome!! I would love to spend some more time out in Wyoming, I'll be passing through twice this year but I would love to spend some actually time exploring
Average trip out into the bush for me lol. Problem after problem, until I say f%@* it!! I'm going to drink beer, listen to tunes, and go for a rip in the kayak to do some fishin. Might have to wait a few months haha 😎👍🏻
Sounds great to me! I had to settle for a cup of tea but a beer would of been nice too
Hey, Rob! Cleo here.
I love breakfast for dinner. Don't let the bastards get you down.
Most people lose so many calories just being outdoors that you absolutely *should* treat yourself when you go out. Once you throw in hiking, chopping wood, the body shock of falling, setting up your tent, burning it down and practicing karate moves on trees, one can indeed overdo it if they're dieting.
Where's Blue? Is she doing alright? And what the hell was that yellow double-egg-looking-thingy on your plate? Thanks again for another great video. It really helps to distract the mind during this era of madness.
27:00 do you want some bagel, bacon, and egg with your ketchup? Great fix on the chimney, though.
Well that sucked!
Another great camp, still no crown royal apple aye lol. Say is that thermarest sleep pad as good as they say? HAPPY TRAILS Brotha.
Not just yet, I need to get some but I've been on a diet recently lol Yeah honestly I love my thermarest pad, I tried a sea to summit and it wasn't as warm as this at all
no elephant ,no lions, no bears, enjoy !
Nicely done and filmed everything.
Thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Way to roll with the punches! It’s a good example of how to properly deal with unexpected issues. At least when the camera is on!😂
😂😂😂 thank you Keith!! Some times things go a little haywire and you just have to roll with it
You are very right! I will remember your example the next time it happens to me.
Good job brother i m always looking you camping fray good my name Wawan jazz from Indonesia good luck 🙏👍
I’d want some kind of divider between the bed and the stove I roll around a lot in my sleep
Beautiful camping spot and weather.
It really is! Weather was a little tricky but nice and sunny
That bacon and egg muffin looked great lad (I know it was a bagel but I'm from the north of England so it's a muffin lol) ✌️ Great channel you have built up so far your videos are brilliant watch.
Just a suggestion once you get a good bed of coals in you stove you can go with larger pieces of wood you won't have to fill it as often
Hey Rob - "How's it goin?" See you had your dancing shoes on again. That must have been a real challenge setting up the tent in all that wind. I would imagine the wind chill factor was pretty severe also. Harvested my lemons yesterday and all the Citrus trees are in bloom here. 87 degrees today. Have you ever thought about camping in Arizona in the Winter time? We have some beautiful mountains and some pretty remote locations here in Southern Arizona. No Rattlesnake dangers from November to February. Still getting a little snow up in Northern Arizona around Flagstaff, you want to do cold weather camping. Stay safe out there. Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. Randy in Arizona
real camping
hello, I watched the videos with your dog before. You are a very good friend, I watched it with pleasure. What is the breed of your dog?
Nice video🙂
I see you like a little bacon with your ketchup Rob! 😜. I, myself, could eat breakfast sandwiches 3 times a day, but without all that catchup!
Great film 🔥⛺🇦🇱
Thank you Marti 🔥🔥⛺️⛺️
What? No Cheese? Need to work on that Rob. Never did like those roll up chimneys. Take care.
My wife and I eat breakfast sandwiches when we darned well please. Good food.
You shouldn't gross me out by Putting ketchup on that beautiful sandwich ketchup is for hamburgers 🤣
🤩 🏕 🔥 always love watching your 🎥 🎞 !! Be safe
Thank you!! ⛺️⛺️⛺️
Oscar's Smokehouse in Warrensburg definitely has some great food. I would recognize that package anywhere.
It’s so good!! I love that place, I have to stop myself going in all the time or I’d spend a small fortune
@@BrooksandBirches, I live in the lower Hudson Valley (Warwick) and I probably only get there once a year, but when I do, I come out of the store with several hundred dollars worth of stuff. I love their cheese curds.
Enjoyed the video as always...alot of funny moments in this one, haha. I like all your new tent gear, but I like this tent,, looks like it would be a good summer tent, but the last tent was really awesome. Good deal your working out and eating better, I have to start doing that too, but am so damn lazy. Looking forward to the western trips.
Thanks Jay!! I like this tent a lot but I wouldn’t really recommend it for the summer because it doesn’t have a floor so the bugs would get straight in! It’s a little weird that it has door screens but no floor
I love watching all your videos I even go back and watch them all over again one thing I miss you don’t talk as much as what you did before I explain what you doing. I wish you would get back to that
Thanks Rick!! I really appreciate that, I want to get back into talking more and explaining what. I'm doing and why I'm doing it too to be honest
😀🏕thanks for the video
Thanks for checking it out Ronny!!
Here comes bug season...take care
Remember to use a high pass filter on your audio - so I don't need to build a new wall in the room I'm listening to it!
Good to know!!
I've been wanting to go on a camp North but I don't want to drag a large canvas tent behind me for a stove set up. This tent is awesome. That egg and bacon sandwich in a snowy forest was AWESOME! I have two kids and when they were young we often had "breakfast for dinner." It's fun. And why not? Really good video. I have to ask . . . why stand on the ice and stomp your foot to test the ice? Brave or ???? Until next time. Respect from Florida, where the only ice is in the drinks!
Sometimes nothing seems to go right. You still got out for a night and looked like you managed ok. Til the next one.
Cheers Jason!! Yeah all's well that ends well buddy
On the lighter side... Love your intro...you look like an executive carrying his briefcase 😉😂 great video as always
Haha thanks Stephen! It does look funny carrying the stove like that
Hey brother good to see ya, watching you on the big screen and commenting on my phone,man it looks cold there I had to put a coat on lol.....
Haha right on Harold!! Still pretty chilly here and I suspect it will be for the next month or two at least, I'm excited to head out west
Nice video! I can eat a ‘breakfast’ sandwich anytime of day, especially with Oscars. I remember those winds a few weeks ago and I remember telling my son “imagine being out in that tonight”? Are you planning any ice out canoe fishing? Hope you do. Thanks
Howdy Rob, it looks like this trip was full of challenges... Thanks again for your advice on the Coleman duel fuel stove. One is on order with Amazon. It's scheduled delivery is the end of May! I called into a local camping shop last weekend and they had a sale on. I bought my first fire steel for a mere £3.50. I'm heading back that way this weekend so, if they've any left I'll buy another. What an amazing piece of kit! I'm seriously looking at buying a new bike; Kawasaki Z1000SX. So, when I've got my shelter sorted, I'll be heading to the Peak District and possibly the Highlands late August early September, when the world and his wife are back at work. Looking forward to your next adventure 😊 🇬🇧
You should look into a Kifaru Sawtooth. It would solve a bunch of your issues. 😁
Man I would love one of those Ken! My buddy got one of their packs and it’s awesome!
I've got a pile of K gear. 8 man, Sawtooth, 5-6 packs, stoves, sleeping bags... Let me know if you want to check it out.
Heyya brother.. stay safe dude..
Hey man been a while how’s the bush life Robert
Another enjoyable video, Rob. Good on the spot problem solving. The sound quality with that crazy wind was exceptional!
Did you use any other tricks aside from the 'dead cat'?
(saw the #s 😉)
Haha yeah I remembered the hashtags this week thanks to you Rhya so thank you!! No not really, I have a dead cat on the mic and quite a fancy microphone which helps a lot
Nic video sir
Hey British, Do you remember way back when I said you were a warrior? My observations are now confirmed. jb PS stuff some snow over the flaps. edges of tent
Thanks jb!!
I feel like it's a waste to cut a long chimney
Rất hay 😊😄👍
Question...What is that small shed off to the side of the camp?
It's an outhouse, the camping spot is quite a popular canoe spot in the summer but obviously no one really uses it in the winter
Ketchup on bacon and egg with a bagel...yup that's American alright only HP sauce is allowed on bacon and eggs in this place. If you want low carb diet stay off it and use Mayo instead
Haha I knew someone would bring up the the HP ketchup debate! HP isn’t that available here in the US unfortunately but I do like Ketchup on my bacon and egg
@@BrooksandBirches Bull shite, Amazon sell it with your camping equipment.
Brother where did you get the pump for your sleeping pad I need one instead of blowing it up
They are by a company called flex tail gear, you can find them on amazon
@@BrooksandBirches Just ordered one, thanks brother
The view from your camp site is stunning!
Ketchup on that yuck should be grape jelly, lol. I like ketchup, just not on bacon.
No ketchup? Do you just like it straight up or are you a HP sauce guy?
next time use the smaller chimney in hjgh winds
I'm starting to realize that Debbie!
OH??? Like normal then??
Instantly liked it when you whacked your finger. I'm a horrible human
Haha I don’t blame you Sam!! This was one of those trips where everything wanted to go wrong
👍👍👍👍
Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I want to drive to NY and slap that Ketchup out of your hand.
"I went hot tent camping last night! What did you do?"
"I slept in a big warm bed with my wife."
"!!!!!!!!!"

#ScrewColdWeather
who let u out lad,love ya for tryin but worried bout ya lad.
That wind sure didn't bring any fun --- better camping days ahead!
You said it!! ☀️☀️☀️
You keep click beating "high winds" but you never see nor hear them.
That stove pipe is garbage I don’t know why people use that kind of material
Not poking fun at all, but MAN this video is a perfect example of why that's a TERRIBLE tent!!🤣✊🔥
Hahah I quite like this tent, the tent did ok but it seemed to be everything else that was failing lol
@@BrooksandBirches love your positive outlook mate stay true brotha!!😁✌️💚
